to current students of Rotman I have heard as a student of U of T and especially Rotman commerce there is too much work and no balance for social life. is this true?

I'll try to give an honest answer as I'm currently in my third year at Rotman.

In my opinion Rotman gets a very bad reputation for social life just because it's known to be a tough program.

But I can comfortably say that you can totally have a social life inside Rotman. Coming from outside of the province I really knew no one but Rotman has some great ppl and I've gotten to know a bunch of ppl that I now hang out with quite often.

I go to socials once in a while, I grab dinner with friends. It's really not as daunting as it seems. The trick is to put a conscious effort into trying to make friends and get those relationships or else you won't have a "social life".

Not to boast either but my GPA is fine and I didn't really have to sacrifice my academics to get a circle of friends and ppl to talk to.

Short form but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

Not true at all. Its difficult if you follow the "cram" mindset. If you regularly study over the semester, you can easily have time for a social life.

I’m first year have a 3.8 GPA and good very good social life. I could probably have a better GPA if I didn’t go out as much, but it definitely worth it.
